Ashley Chaffin
Fierce, fearless, and wildly respected — Ashley Chaffin is one of the most accomplished women in backcountry snowmobiling. Hailing from Valdez, Alaska, Ashley has earned her place as a leader in extreme terrain, pushing boundaries and inspiring a generation of women riders across the globe.
As a TruckBoss Pro Rider, Ski-Doo factory athlete, and proud new mom, Ashley brings passion, professionalism, and raw talent to everything she does. You’ll find her featured in global Ski-Doo campaigns, carving lines where helicopters hesitate, and running her own Alaskan business — all while being a relentless advocate for women in the sport.
Ashley’s riding style is aggressive, technical, and full-send — the kind of high-performance riding that demands gear she can trust. That’s why she chooses TruckBoss.
Ashley is also one of TruckBoss’s longest-standing athletes, and we’re proud to have her as a core part of our team. Her dedication to the sport and our brand has left a lasting impact, and we are deeply grateful for everything she’s done to help shape the TruckBoss legacy.
Why Ashley Rides with TruckBoss:
“In Alaska, your gear has to perform in the harshest conditions. TruckBoss holds up to the deep snow, long hauls, and everything this terrain throws at us.” – Ashley Chaffin
